                                     General

The foregoing consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been
prepared from the books and records of Trinity Industries, Inc. ("Trinity " or
the "Company "). In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only
of normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial position of the Company as of December 31, 1999, the results of
operations for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 1999 and 1998
and cash flows for the nine month periods ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, have been made.
Because of seasonal and other factors, the results of operations for the nine
month period ended December 31, 1999 may not be indicative of expected results
of operations for the year ending March 31, 2000. These interim financial
statements and notes are condensed as permitted by the instructions to Form
10-Q, and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements of the Company incorporated by reference in its Form 10-K for the
year ended March 31, 1999.

shares from time to time in the open market and in negotiated transactions. In
the third quarter, an additional 15,000 shares at a cost of $0.4 million were
purchased. Purchase of additional shares will be based on market conditions and
other relevant factors.

                                  Contingencies

business. In the opinion of management, these claims and suits in the aggregate

         Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
         and Results of Operations

                              Results of Operations

                 Nine Months Ended December 31, 1999 Compared to
                       Nine Months Ended December 31,1998

Revenues for the first nine months of fiscal 2000 decreased to $2,094.2 million
from $2,151.8 million due to a decline in revenues in the Industrial Group
caused by the divestiture of Beaird Industries in June 1998, along with
decreased railcar shipments. Operating profit increased to $223.1 million
compared to $218.5 million primarily due to increased operating profits in the
Railcar Group, Inland Barge Group, and Highway Construction Products Group.
Results from the first nine months of fiscal 1999 include a $22.1 million gain,
primarily from the sale of real estate and other assets. Fiscal 2000 railcar
shipments are expected to decrease approximately 15% from fiscal 1999 levels and
industry estimates indicate that greater declines may occur in fiscal 2001.

Revenues for the Railcar Group decreased to $1,164.4 million from $1,205.8
million while operating profit increased to $126.3 million from $122 million.
Lower revenue is due to decreased railcar shipments as a result of softened
demand. Increased operating profit is a result of cost reductions and
manufacturing efficiencies.

Revenues for the Inland Barge Group were $154.2 million compared to $150
million, while operating profit increased to $20.1 million from $9.8 million.
The improvement in operating profit is due mainly to a change in product mix and
cost reductions.

Total revenues for the Parts & Services Group declined while operating profit
decreased to $59.9 million from $65.2 million primarily due to the softness in
the railcar market, the sale of three railcar repair plants, and decreased sales
of container heads.

Revenues for the Highway Construction Products Group increased 14.7% to $151.4
million from $132 million, while operating profit increased 21% to $28.8 million
from $23.8 million due to increased government spending for transportation
infrastructure improvements.

Revenues for the Concrete & Aggregate Group increased 7.9% to $189.2 million
from $175.4 million, while operating profit increased 8.6% to $21.4 million from
$19.7 million. These increases are due to a strong construction market and
continued acquisitions and expansions.

Industrial Group revenues decreased to $162.1 million from $183.4 million while
operating profit increased to $12 million from $11.9 million. The decline in
revenue is primarily due to the sale of Beaird Industries, Inc. in the quarter
ended June 30, 1998.

                Three Months Ended December 31, 1999 Compared to
                      Three Months Ended December 31, 1998

Revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 decreased to $700.8 million from
$722.9 million due to reduced car shipments in the Railcar Group, along with a
decline in revenues in the Parts & Services Group. These decreases were mostly
offset by improved results in the Inland Barge, Highway Construction Products,
Industrial Products, and Concrete & Aggregate Groups. Operating profit decreased
slightly to $68.8 million compared to $69.7 million. Increased operating profits
in the Inland Barge, Highway Construction Products, Industrial and Concrete &
Aggregate Groups, were offset by a decrease in the Railcar and the Parts &
Services Groups.

Revenues for the Railcar Group decreased to $402.9 million from $426.9 million
while operating profit decreased to $42.6 million from $46 million. Lower
revenues and operating profit are a result of softened demand in this segment.

Revenues for the Inland Barge Group increased to $48.4 million from $42.3
million. Operating profit increased to $6.4 million from $2.2 million. The
improvement in operating profit is due mainly to a change in product mix,
increased operating efficiency, and lower material costs.

Total revenues for the Parts & Services Group were $104.6 million compared to
$133.7 million, while operating profit decreased to $16.8 million from $21.2
million. This decrease in revenues and operating profit is primarily due to the
softness in the railcar market and decreased sales of container heads.

Revenues for the Highway Construction Products Group increased to $45.5 million
from $37.6 million, while operating profit increased to $7.8 million from $5.5
million due to increased government spending on transportation improvements.

Revenues for the Concrete & Aggregate Group increased to $60 million from $57.6
million, while operating profit increased to $6.1 million from $5 million due to
increased construction spending.

Industrial Group revenues increased to $55.7 million from $52.3 million while
operating profit increased to $4.1 million from $2 million. The increase in
revenues and operating profit is primarily due to increased LPG tank demand and
improvement in the fittings and flange business.

                          Liquidity & Capital Resources

Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $153.7 million during the
first nine months of fiscal 2000 compared to $97.4 million in the first nine
months of fiscal 1999. Capital expenditures during the first nine months of
fiscal 2000 were approximately $105.9 million of which approximately $31.5
million was for additions to the railcar lease fleet. This compares to $150.6
million of capital expenditures in the first nine months of fiscal 1999 of which
$90 million was for additions to the lease fleet. Expenditures for business
acquisitions were $12.8 million. Proceeds from the sale of property, plant and
equipment and other assets were $53.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal
2000 compared to $147.2 million in fiscal 1999.

In the first nine months of fiscal 2000, the Company repurchased common stock
for $64 million. The Company believes cash provided from operations and cash
available under uncommitted bank lines of credit will be sufficient to meet its
requirements for the next year.

                                 Year 2000 Issue

The Company has completed its Year 2000 remediation and compliance effort. To
date, there have been no major system failures or disruptions, and all systems,
machinery and equipment, as well as third party interfaces are operating as
normal. As of December 1999, the Company has spent approximately $9 million on
compliance efforts. At this time, the Company believes all significant areas
have been addressed, and that the Company is positioned to handle Year 2000
issues, should they arise.
